GO OVER THE EDGE WITH ADOPTION NETWORK CLEVELAND IN 2026

An Adventurous Way to Support Adoption Network Cleveland
WHEN: Saturday, August 22, 2026, 8am-5pm
WHERE: [TBD - we are still finalizing location details]

We had such a thrilling time last year going Over The Edge we decided to do it again! This urban rappelling adventure provides a unique experience for our brave participants while, at the same time, raises funds to support continued excellence in program and service delivery for our wonderful Adoption Network Cleveland community.

Last year, we had around 65 rappelers answer the call -- how many will we have this year?  And, most importantly, will YOU be one of them?

Now's your chance to take a powerful step—for yourself, someone you love, or someone you've never met. Sign up. Show up. And go Over The Edge to support those impacted by adoption. 

Whether you’re seeking a new challenge, want to honor someone special, or simply believe in our mission, this is your chance to take a bold step and make a difference. 

Want to support us but don't want to rappel? Invite a friend to join or make a donation to support another individual's quest to go Over The Edge -- click here to get started!

ABOUT Adoption Network Cleveland:

Adoption Network Cleveland: The Ohio Family Connection is an innovative non-profit organization that fulfills otherwise unmet needs for information, advocacy, education, and support for members of the adoption triad (adoptees, birth parents, and adoptive/kinship/foster parents), youth in foster care, siblings, and related professionals.

Since our founding in 1988, Adoption Network Cleveland has developed a range of programs and services designed to meet community needs. We believe adoption is a complex, lifelong, and intergenerational journey for all those whose lives are impacted. Recognizing that a unified voice is a strong voice, Adoption Network Cleveland promotes community awareness and social change by advocating for progressive policies and openness in practice, policy, and law at the local, state, and federal levels.
